You're not contradicting the objection, you're just outlining another mechanic by which it happens.

"The New England Patriots reached ten Super Bowls, therefore the foot out of bounds just before scoring a touchdown was clearly a mistake and out of the ordinary. Therefore, award the Patriots the point, on the grounds that they usually don't make mistakes like that. And don't check the pressure in the football please, there have been ten Super Bowls where that wasn't apparently a problem…"

(I wonder who I'm insulting more, the Pats or Goldman Sachs :D )

Loving the analogy :D but (and excuse my ignorance), but in NFL those rules don't allow that, where as it appears the markets do have these mechanisms to allow it?

They do allow it, but that's precisely what people are complaining is unfair. They are literally too big to follow the same rules as the small traders.
